Yamiks could do a tutorial on how to open the game and i still would watch

[@lenerdx]

Great video! Just started playing and outfitting was super intimidating. This definitely helped

[@TheYamiks]

Just one comment like thos makes it worth it making a video like this

[@viniciuspires3829]

This is one of the worst ED guides for beginners period. I love it

[@jesseowens1492]

😂

[@drafty9580]

Thanks Yamiks, all your videos have been super helpful! Just got into this game recently and have watched a large number of videos and have found yours to be the best.

[@JesusDiscipleNicholas]

After all these years, finally watching the "basic" videos, thank you for your time!!

[@gigachad4311]

Thx for the video, after playing 3h just for fun, I finally came to customize my ship. Your video helped a Lot, thx for creating it

[@-hellsgate-]

Auto Field Maintenance System (AFMS) ... love your work, always brings a smile to my face - especially the raw honesty!

[@_DigitalDave_]

I only watch these to see what new people might be looking up now days and i swear ive seen yamiks do like 10 of these so I always wonder how its different from the other videos lol.

[@Chieftian101]

Great video, appreciate all the explanations.

[@jonassolberg6173]

This video actually made me kinda understand this. And its like the fourth video I watched lol. Good job on explaining it to a complete newbie!

[@TheYamiks]

GLaD to hear that someone got something out of this massive slab =}

[@antoniolittle7012]

Loved it, definitely a big help thank you :D

only my second video and thats one hell of a voice bro your awsome

[@Nothing2NV]

Great video. Thank you

[@HugeGeronimo]

Tried to watch, oldie vet Cmdr, got to shields, and fell asleep. Never had the best sleep in months, added to the Watch later list for bedtime story time. Thanks, Yamiks!

[@TheYamiks]

welll.. shieeet

[@ianoag]

On Steam, My review for ED is: "Here's a ship, here's some credits to get you started, there's the Galaxy. Now get out there and see what you can do." I'm now tempted to add "But watch TheYamicks KZbin Beginner's guide on Outfitting, Modules and builds before you do anything else" Great video as usual and I agree that the Odyssey interface is annoying but personally I think it's better one you get used to it.

[@joeschmalhofer6109]

I can't wait for the Yamiks how to video on laser mining in the Asp Scout... NOT! LOL. Keep up the excellent how to videos Yamiks. You are both educational and entertaining and from my experience this makes for the best teachers.

[@urprobokeh2937]

When you know the video won't get views because its about elite dangerous, but you still gotta upload to keep up with the schedule, we can feel your pain yamiks

[@DJ_Indigo-Angel]

thank you

[@joethesheep4675]

I always pick reactive armour for combat-ships. I spent quite a while min-maxing effective hull-hitpoints with armour and hullboosters and reactive armour gets the best results. Its not too big of a deal but its better and what do credits matter when you are going to grade5-engineer the damned thing?

[@williamvorkosigan5151]

Yamiks. Focus! Experience player and my eyes are glazing over. You are blinding the noobs with detail they really don't need to know. Loved the video anyway.

[@TheYamiks]

well it's not a short video nor is it meant to be concise.. it's called "explained" after all

[@williamvorkosigan5151]

@@TheYamiks You are the master, I the student.

[@emissary8]

Am I the only one that knows about all of this already, yet still watch the video?

[@dwaynelangerhr6985]

It's The Yamiks you have to watch.

[@zlacks2851]

No sir.

[@squid_fm]

Well done. But never forget... the original sidewinder you start with is sacred. No Thargoid is going to blow up the Ocellos Starport in Ceos. Brunel Hub is a perfect storage space for your Sidewinder. Thargoids cant be bothered about those systems that are way out.

B rated is the high integrity option, it may be less powerful but it can take a punch

This is a video on how to change a flat tire. So once you have the car jacked up and the tire off...

[@HashknightGaming]

I love me some torpedoes but yeah the ammo limits it's overall awesomeness.

[@wayneyang7920]

Should I change my fuel tank to 4C on my Asp Ex, I am not using neutron highway

[@iamatlantis1]

Did you get a new computer? Did they optimize the graphics? I might actually go play.

[@141Wingman]

Also a tip for traders/miners dealing with pirates if you dont want them stealing your shit with hatch breaker limpets you can shut power off to your cargo hatch last I checked it prevents the limpets from accessing your cargohold O7 CMDRS

[@joshreeves9673]

Good info. Should have been more detailed in the armour. The reactive one is for hauling chemical and such. And the mirror armor is good for exploring considering fuel scooping all the time.

[@TheYamiks]

armor wise.. the minor details dont matter much

[@kingconan4crom]

Is ED Odyssey worth getting now? Did the improve it at all?

[@angelolima4811]

Is there Any way to buy additional modules or slots for dbx

[@seekertarakonna3569]

Start with core first upgrade to A rating , on all ( unless your building for reason)..

[@sim.frischh9781]

Wait, synthesizing ammo? Do you need to mine for that? Or where would the mass for the ammo come from? And can one produce different kinda of ammo types for the same weapon system? Let´s say grenades or EMP ammo for the multicannon?

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

It comes from the engineering materials, which are somehow massless but you can only carry a few hundred of each for some reason

[@ThatTinyDude]

Premium ammo comes in 3 values, basic, advanced and premium, the more expensive ammo's add more damage and restore more ammo, they do not change the damage type or the weapon effect besides a reload and damage boost

[@sim.frischh9781]

@@ThatTinyDude Ah, Mini, glad to see you´re still alive! You haven´t been in any Yamiks video for so long ;) Those are some weird rules for ammo though. I wonder whether the programmers and game designers have any idea how weapons actually work...

[@sim.frischh9781]

@@ENCHANTMEN_ Probably some half-baked game balancing attempt, nothing else makes sense.

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

@@sim.frischh9781 It's a gameplay thing that doesn't make sense in-universe, much like the rest of engineering

Wake scanners are good for farming certain mats

nice shipname right there, 07 cmdr

[@TheNiteNinja19]

Another reason for me not to get Odyssey... Crappy UI lol

[@uncannyvalley2350]

*ahahahaa* Yamiks trolled his own audience, look at those viewer stats 🤣🤣🤣🤘

[@H3artFang]

what do the numbers before letters mean? why are some of the sliced out witha chefron pattern?

[@TheYamiks]

if i understand ya : number - size of the part. Letter the quality grade.

[@mariusrusti8372]

I see TheYamiks, I hit play. I'm a simple man. Nice explaining! Very Borat style!

[@me_is_hello_byeyoutube23]

I really want the new srv

[@lazy3521]

Yamiks, for some reason I can’t find the discovery scanner no matter where I look, please someone, where is it

[@TheYamiks]

if the station does not supply that module : it wont be there

[@Yeager123123]

I like yamiks

[@EvGamerBETA]

Clicked because of thumbnail

[@termlesscipher8045]

Ah yes the start of the video is a dead meme. One of my people

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

Wake Scanners are also used to collect wake data. Sometimes you need this shitty data to 'engineer' your FSD and such.

[@joniskrosis2882]

Being a console/horizons player, I'm thankful for our UI not being hot garbage like Odyssey's is

[@smolkitten2242]

I think I'm more confused after watching this.

[@commonsenseandreason2492]

“Moving on…” LMAO

[@johnnietaylor5783]

Game is selling for $8.99 now lol was on planing buying it watching this video there's to much work to be done I gave up on it already

[@slycooper1415]

Hmm

[@Power5]

So to get max range of your jump drive you need no fuel. Makes perfect sense. LOL Options are good. Too many options are bad. I am trying to figure out if I am sobering up or if the info dump has given me a brain bleed. It sort of makes sense that you need all these ship items since the player never actually interacts with anything but ship controls, unless he wants to go shoot some people at another cookie cutter base on a planet but then again he will probably just use his ship to shoot all the space leg idiots on planet.

[@TheYamiks]

There is a limit how low can you go in fuel before it stops having effect... Its weird an most what you get is below 1ly in jump sooo dont sweat it

[@streathamredtail9666]

I love this game but it's soo frustrating to do anything in it, I'm just gonna put it down & go with No Mans Sky 😂

[@tremor3258]

Honestly if my shields are up I just don't *care* about missiles.

[@joethesheep4675]

I think the menue/AI is actually quite a step up from horizons.

[@elgringofeo9348]

Been playing for like a week straight after stopping when I was getting used to the game, had to relearn all my controls and I have like 3 hours of just messing with the controls and I keep finding things to change, and I still havent found a fukin fighter bay, like how rare are they ove been to around 20 outfitting stations and I never see them in stock, 1 thing i really hate off the bat is there isnt much sense of danger or struggle, you die and you just buy back the ship for real cheap, I was hoping it was actually hard to get even the firsts ships and I liked the apex shuttle for folks who have a hard time buying ships plus it works well for doing on foot stuff, you never risk losing o2, no real hardships, not many pirates or mobs, the systems I've been might have only 1 settlement for a mob and the economies are always stable, is this how the whole game is?

[@shperax]

DON'T FORGET YOUR LIMPETS

[@tosutaa]

I don't know why I watch these considering how I rarely have more than a million credits to my name so i can't afford any of these items

People still play this?

[@MR_DOME]

Man nom a non dudu

[@stealth7545]

"So you open up the outfitting..." and don't know how to do anything because it's all icons and isn't a PC friendly UI in any way that was developed by someone who must have wanted to make the worst UI in space sim existence. I stopped playing, fuck Fdev, Elite died for me the week Odyssey "released".

[@Apophes]

Thanks God I have brain, so I can understand ui.

[@hanswichmann5047]
